Do you think the other 11 countries that announced sanctions against the illegal settlements were also trying to buy votes in Holborn?

No, but I think they are a bit thick if they think it will be efficacious to punish Arab Farmers, because that's what they're doing.🙄

I stopped caring to a large extent when I quickly discovered how bent this Labour government are.

The most disastrous government in my memory.

You stopped caring about other people because you perceive a government as being bad?

Didn't make your millions through your intellect did you

Alright random billionaire mumsnetter how much tax do you actually pay?! I am a lowly 40% tax payer and quite happy to pay my way, that's how society works.

What do you think reform will do for the average woman on the street or don't you give a shit about them? Should we have poorhouses? Orphans cleaning chimneys?

If you don't pay tax who funds services? Prisons? Police? Are you going to empty your own bins? What if you lost everything tomorrow? Became disabled and couldn't recoup it? You happy in the gutter? How are reform going to fund their promises without taxing you further? So very many questions...

@Greyrock79 has already said that has stopped caring about the country as a whole, she only cares about how much tax she is paying.

Nothing to do with votes in Holborn then?

You only know about it because she answered what’s the worst thing you’ve done question. Obviously not realising how much people grab on to it and level it up as on here.

It doesn't matter how we came to find out about it. And Harman's reaction is not the issue. It's what Badenoch did that's the important fact. Nothing else in that whole sorry scene is relevant.

At least she is honest enough to say that it's purely about (perceived) self interest.

Are you a Labour supporter? Or who is it that’s much better for you

While this government announces sanctions against ‘Israel’ ( Jewish, innit) to buy votes in Holborn -utterly shameless.

Edited

No the government havent announced sanctions aginst Isreal theyve announced sanctions against the illegal Jewish settlers in the West Bank completely different thing but you already know that dont you thats why you decided to conflate them to try and make an inaccurate but emotive point🙄

Yes it’s everyman/woman for himself with
some people. I can’t get my head around that attitude and approach to life.

No me neither because one day that person could be you. Nobody knows what might befall them. There but for the grace of god and that (not that I believe in God but I believe in the sentiment 😂)

Not the 11 other countries, but I can't speak for this one.

No, you clearly can't speak for this one as you don't seem to understand the government's position at all. It's good that you recognise this.

Greyrock79 · 12/09/2026 17:48

And where do your loyalties rest, currently?

Not loyal to any party, that’s kind of the point.

How about you?

Me neither. I think it probably boils down to the values that you were raised with.

But I do at least appreciate the pp's honesty. I would far prefer a genuine admission of the fact that someone doesn't care about about anything except their own self interest than self interest dressed up as patriotism or some other shit.

Could someone please explain how OP thinks a snap GE is going to happen?

Because it isn't.

You appear to have a very short memory.

No need to be so patronising.

TLDR thread but if it hasn't already come up I was listening to LBC today and the reporter said there is legislation going through the Lords to limit donations to £100k. If successful it's backdated to April this year I think he said.

I haven't got any millions, where did you get that from? I've barely got any pounds 😂

Unlike you I don't think that makes me any less of a person.

So why were you asking where my millions came from when I hadn't mentioned having any?
